Test Socket Zaps Coplanarity Problems

June 1, 2002

Designed to eliminate coplanarity problems, a new line of BGA and LGA test sockets is said to offer more reliable contact and continuity, as well as longer life. The sockets feature a guided contact plunger and spring to maintain perpendicularity, as well as a tapered cup design. They also incorporate the company's Rollerball SMT technology and are available in 1.27, 1.0, 0.8 and 0.75 mm pitches with a price base of $0.50 to $0.90 per pin, depending on quantity. ANDON ELECTRONICS CORP., Lincoln, RI. (401) 333-0388.
